Have you got anything to back this theory up? Any personal experiance? Or is it because they dont cost 1000 and come with a blue and yellow sticker?
And at 500-600 i wouldnt exactly call them cheap

Avo - crap, most cant be rebuilt

GAZ - middle of the road unit with the stuff that is avalible off the shelf, they (much like avo) do make some very high end stuff though, uk company, can be rebuilt, and serviced, impressed with mine

FK - defines cheap crap

ok cheers guys, just wanted too make sure, ive just fitted gaz top adjustable ones and wanted too make sure as the fks i had before with helpers didnt do this the coil stayed solid but im guessing thats cause the helper spring was there too take up the missing amount of just having the spring.

Gaz are miles better than Avo.
I have Avo, and im glad i got them 2nd hand and didn't pay out the 05500 plus new for them!!
Avo's dont last long before they need rebuilding. Mine were rebuilt at a cost of 0530 per unit
